Re: [xsl] Problem with iterating through a sequence of integers

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

various ways, you could forexample stick the body of the loop into a
named template and just have the body being a xsl:call-template 
so that when it's compiled it's not known statically that it's an
integer.


It's possible to avoid putting the whole body in a separate template,
for example this works, today:

            <xsl:when test=". instance of node()">
                <xsl:apply-templates select="(.,doc('grrr'))[1]" />
            </xsl:when>

but if the xslt engine's rewrite engine gets smarter and simplifies
(.,doc('grrr'))[1] to . then you'd be back to where you started.
